Or if commercial is overbuilt and Amazon is flexing it's muscle then sell commercial and buy residential. 

I get things that break, dishwashers, disposals, clogged drains, toilets, showers.I'm looking for a mechanism that would decrease the "This house is 30 years old" work orders.

I have been trying to sell my rental property and for the past few years but the market price keep decreasing where my mortgage owed = market price, currently almost no equity in thereI've considered/ tried following: - conventional way using realtor - even though seller's realtor willing to take less commission, no guarantee that buyer's realtor is willing to do it as well.- agreement for sale/ rent to own - fail because tenant buyer defaulted.- no fee/ low fee realtor brokerage (commfree, 1% realty etc.) - actually they charge more than what it shows in the ad.- direct marketing through kijiji, facebook, reach out to my real estate investor friends for direct sale or another rent to own - this is what I am doing now.- 1% fee realtor website (bodecanada) - this is pretty new and I start to put my property there- rent out to tenants - this is what I am doing nowMy property is half duplex with illegal walk out basement suite so I rent out upstairs for $1200 and basement for $700.

Are there any indicators that suggest population will increase, decrease or stay about the same? 

Your tenant is affected and can't pay the rent, and you can't find anyone else to rent the place(s) unless you decrease the rent so low that it's taking money out of your pocket in order to not foreclose. 

And the answer always seem to involve increasing our monthly expenses, or decrease our amenities....  

Would my cash flow severely decrease?

I did a google search and found a few companies that offer numbers/reports for money, and also went to the TXDOT website but was thoroughly confused.I also want to be able to see if the traffic has been steadily increasing or decreasing over the past few years. 

I find it hard to believe that my assessment would be decreased and by law I'm not required to do anything. 

Debt to Income sounds like your biggest inhibitor, therefore, get started decreasing debt and increasing income.
